Best Consumer Smartphone Award merely means cheap and cheerful. Look at the other awards first.

Build Quality.. Let's ignore all the comments about Screen Freezes, loose charging ports, and dull white screen.
Unique design.. No better looking than dozens of similar phones on the market.
Performance.. Not bad, but a bit sluggish at times.

If you don't know EISA stands 'European Imaging and Sound Association' and they have been giving the most recognized & prestigious awards in the world to consumer electronic appliances/ phones for ages.
On the contrary, I strongly believe 7 Plus is the best smartphone Nokia ever created under HMD banner. It has the perfect balance of build quality, unique design, performance, software & latest features for its asking price.
This is the reason why I own a Nokia 7 Plus.

If you are facing issue while taking pictures in low light, this is acceptable since Nokia algorithm is not that good. You should use Google cam during night time. If it is during day time, check with some other camera phone. i.e. transfer original photo to that phone & check how it looks. (Some phones have different screen panel which show different color than original one)

The screen is actually pretty a... moreWhat I love about Nokia phones is the approach to engineering that is build to last. At-least this applies for 1st & 2nd generation Nokia phones released between 2017 & 2018 under HMD banner. Take the Nokia 7 Plus for example, the processes it goes through to make the metal uni-body:
a) Precision-milled from a solid block of 6000 series aluminium alloy. Takes 1 hour to machine from a solid metal block.
b) Then six layer paint job in white/black color is applied on the bare CNC machined aluminium uni-body which gives the uni-body an unique ceramic like feel with mate texture.
c) Next a diamond cutter tool is used to shave four sides of the phone by 2.75 mm. The same procedure is applied to cut a thin line which runs along the boarder of the display. This exposes the bare aluminium over which anodization will be performed.
d) Then the phone is dipped in an anodizing pool where two step anodization process is performed to give the bare sides & thin line a unique copper finish.
e) An internal die cast metal mid-frame is then screwed internally to the metal uni-body which reinforces the core of the device. No less than 19 screws locks the internal metal plate to the uni-body giving it ultimate structural integrity & durability.
Nokia 7 Plus is a testament of Nokia true craftsmanship & unique material design. The cost of manufacturing this type of metal uni-body is at-least 10 times more than phones using pressed metal bodied phones that tout as metal build like Xiaomi previous generation phones.
Alas with market pressure now Nokia have to now dissolve their approach to engineering and run into lanes of cheap construction to return to profitability. The truth is very few people understand or value construction quality but everybody knows about specs.
The new Nokia phones in budget segment have started using cheap construction materials like plastic like Samsung, Oppo, Vivo, Asus. RealMe, Xiaomi etc in-order to return to profitability. Even the mid-tier phones like Nokia 8.1 (successor of Nokia 7 Plus) uses cheaper extruded aluminium frame rather than CNC machined and posses half the durability standards of its predecessor.

Been using for a bit now,
The screen is actually pretty amazing, even though its the Novak version everyone seems to be complaining about, mine's pretty bright even on the lowest settings. Which I usually leave it on since it's very bright for my eyes.
Nice and clean stock andriod,
Camera is pretty good.
Audio is meh, My blackberry priv was louder but not all that bad.
Charges pretty quick, Battery life is pretty good.
It's a sexy phone to look at.
Overall, I'm enjoying it.

In case of camera, try force close. then start again. Solves the issue 99% of the time. Most likely it will be fixed in next updates.

my nokia 7 plus was giving problems like charging port issue, heating up when battery charges to 70% and black mark on screen. given it to service and heard nothing from them till 20 days, then i wrote to hmd global as well nokia india about such a pathetic response and demanded them for a new phone as replacement. to my surprise i received call from service center saying they have replaced it with nokia 8.1 as the phone cannot be repaired. took 8.1 its really excellent and premium built. seems they stopped selling nokia 7 plus now due to its issues.

Sometimes I don't understand is it the ignorance of users or some people just don't know how to use smartphones?!! Because I read people complain about things that are just easy to fix or to deal with.

I have never faced it. After discussion, we felt that it could be specific to stock launcher. If you use a third party launcher, you do not face any issues. You can try it out. It may work. Worth taking a risk. Flick launcher is good if you are looking for ad free launcher.

I have had mine for 6 months now and it is brilliant, none of the problems or issues I have read here. Great screen, battery life and reliable. I would buy another tomorrow if I needed to. A great improvement over my previous Windows phone and even the iPhone 5 I had before.

I don't know why people keep on complaining about Nokia 7 plus. I am using this phone past one year, I didn't face any of the issue mentioned in the comments here. The phone is working just fine with out any lag. Battery life is good, I am little heavy user I still get 1 day of battery and screen on time always in between from 7 to 8 hours. Most of the bugs fixed after the pie update and Nokia is pushing monthly update with out any delay. Camera is just fine no issue it struggles a bit in low light we can solve it by adjusting shutter speed or g cam. In my opinion the phone is excellent.

Phone works great. Only issue I have is that built-in phone app is not working. I cannot make/receive calls. Even Star codes or mmi codes are not working. During dialing, Call with automatically disconnect without any ring or anything.
